Clint is trying to calculate the distance between point G(13, 2) and point H(1, 7). Which of the following expressions will he use? square root of the quantity of 7 minus 2 all squared plus 1 minus 13 all squared square root of the quantity of 7 minus 13 all squared plus 1 minus 2 all squared square root of the quantity of 7 minus 1 all squared plus 13 minus 2 all squared square root of the quantity of 1 minus 7 all squared plus 2 minus 13 all squared

Do you know the distance formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well kind of

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{(x _{2}-x _{1})^{2}+(y _{2}-y _{1})^{2}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so just input the coordinates into the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know what it looks like i just dont know how to do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just input the numbers in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you know that the y coordinates have to be in the parenthesis together than you can figure it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the last one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for example you know that 13 and 1 are x's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and that 7 and 2 are y's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it the last one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the x's have to be in the same parenthesis and the y's have to be in the same parenthesis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the x's have to subtract each other and the y's have to subtract each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u medal me plz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you :)
